日本映画はあまり見ないのですがアメリカ人の元先生に勧められたので見てみようかなと思っています。My former private teacher knows a lot about movies, as he recommended some European movies to me recently, and I was able to watch many memorable ones which I couldn’t find easily myself.The other day, he sent me an article about one of the movies telling me that it won the Palm D’or at Cannes this year.I understand that it's about a close knit, poor family that depends on their grandmother’s pension, but they can’t help shoplifting because of their situation. He suggested that I watch it one of these days.

（私には珍しく見た日本のテレビドラマ）One of my language teachers has asked me to recommend an interesting Japanese drama. Unfortunately, I rarely watch Japanese movies and dramas, so I don’t know which is good and who is popular among actors and actresses. In the past 30 years, I only watched one series called “LEGAL HIGH” about 6 years ago. At that time, my son looked surprised to see me watching TV. By the way, the movie “Key of Life” is the only Japanese movie I have watched in 40 years. It was a coincidence that the same actor in the television show, Sakai Masato, starred in the movie as well.

（ぼたん）One of my American teachers said that recently he went hiking in the mountains near his home. It was hot, but it was a beautiful day, and he enjoyed the time by himself. According to him, his wife never goes out for pleasure when it is sunny, as she is concerned about her skin, so there is no chance to go out with her.A friend of mine is similar to his wife. When she was dating a New Zealander, she didn’t mind going boating in Auckland, but she stopped as soon as she married him. Her husband must be enjoying outdoor activities without her.I got tan already, as I drive a lot everyday. I wish I could stay home like them too.

（もうじき6月）

I talked to one of my former Canadian teachers recently. I occasionally see him, and exchange greetings or make small talk, but it was the first time in seven years to talk about certain topics across the table from one another. He said he feels relaxed living in a secular country like Japan, because he doesn’t need to contend with other people over religion. As for myself, I may not be devout, but I have never failed to pray for my late mother early in the morning and before I leave home. I am not superstitious, but I often feel that my late mother has saved me whenever I have been in awkward positions.

（チャッピー）

Yesterday when I was about to leave home, a mosquito flew into the house via the front door. At the same time, I found many ants on the entrance floor, as they were gathering around a piece of cat food.Every morning I bring food to the cats outside, so I must have dropped it then. It took me a while to take care of those annoying things, but I still managed to catch the train. On days like this, I usually don't have much luck all day long, but I was able to enjoy the day without running into any other big problems. All in all, it was a good day. I even enjoyed watching an American TV show in the evening, which is rare nowadays.
